well, i got them installed today! the only thing i didnt do was hook up the water tem sender . didnt feel like dropping the fluid.

i used my new roto zip (thing rocks)!!

i cut the whole cup from behind the bezel for each gauge, then cut out the 2 plastic pieces behind the bezel only where the gauges were.

all in all, i like it so far. but it was a pita!!! lol

sounds good to me. if your boss is gone one night i could always swing by there. tomorrow ill drop the coolant and finish with the temp gauge, and the do a litlle more :hack: on the front fenders with the roto zip.!
 
Looks good. So they fit with the original cluster back there eh? I'll be doin a tranny temp, water and volts in the next few weeks, i think. lol
 
I know what you mean by a PITA, because thats how I put mine in. But its worth it to not have to look down under the dash.

I pay more attention to my guages now that they are in the dash.
